| "I have always pondered the uses of "Battle Language" with regards to sport. You could tell your team the plan without the other side being able to understand a thing.

| "In one James Bond novel, a pair of criminals used a deliberate modification of an American number-based football signal, in order to indicate to each other how they were about to attack." (Julian 4/11/2006 3:49:25 PM ) |
| "I have also always thought that vampires would be likely to use such a system when they worked in groups." (Julian 4/11/2006 3:52:35 PM ) |
| "The Dorsai also used battle language, as did their children, who would come up with variations every generation in order to baffle their parents." (John Pfeifer 8/1/2006 10:59:32 AM ) |
| "Forger:

"Battle language" is prevalent in online gaming, especially team-based FPS games, in addition to RTS and MMORPGs." (Mark Cartwright 10/8/2009 2:48:10 PM ) |
